Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video

by Richard_I in

jw
friends

i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.

link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

Tight Pants Tony's wife wore a Sophia & Caleb Badge out Witnessing

by Listener in

in the february jw broadcasting they show anthony morris the iii out witnessing with his wife during a convention.

she is wearing the convention badge and also a badge with sophia & caleb on it.

i find it very amusing and she is not even a grandmother even though they like to portray am as a grandfather.. here's what their 1990 w 12/1 says about movie stars.

all JWs have nothing but good reports about anything the borg pushes them to do... I doubt there is any feedback about reality... like the tract campaigns and lit. trollies.. there are no real metrics as to what works and what doesn't..

i bet.. the GB goes preaching on stage like the jim carrey movie "the truman show".. as in every door they knock is probably a JW prepped to make it look like they are willing to listen.. this is the only way it keeps going.. otherwise if they saw what real preaching is like they will see that it doesn't work..

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.

what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.

if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

user100

i don't feel bad when I recycle.. however it might be worthwhile to hold on to them so that as nu-lite comes you can point out their old beliefs in their own publications..

Freudian slip in this weeks WT study!

by stuckinarut2 in

oh....ok....hahaha...did anyone else pick up on this classic stuff up in the wt for the weekend of 21/22 feb?.

after speaking about the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, paragraph 6 says:.

"only lot and his daughters, who stuck close to him, survived".

user100

i doubt they will be locked in prison.. they will be disfellowshipped and later reinstated .. why would you want to loose a potential new member no matter how retarded.

Time to criticize another religion: Islam

by SonoftheTrinity in

please understand i have nothing against islam.

i have something against alpha muslim men.. i was walking my cute little chihuahua mix in the park the other day when darts off sniffing since i am using a retractable extension leash and i am not minding the fact that he comes up on a muslim family and gets within a foot of them.

the paterfamilias gives me a dirty look and then says something to his wife and i can make out the word "saif" which is arabic for "sword.

user100

islam is the only true religion worshipping the only true god.. JWs are a close second.

When did you realize evolution was true?

by Coded Logic in

) which person/source first made you reconsider your position on creationism?.

) how long a period of time did it take to fully convince you?.

) what books and videos did you read and watch?.

user100

i just accepted creationism without really believing it or understanding evolution.. in high school i looked over the evolution book and never really absorbed it.. however, i did go on to college to study biotechnology and it convinced me that evolution is true...

JWs use the house illustration or the watch.. you are walking in the desert and see a watch.. you KNOW a human created it.. therefore GOD created everything!

The key difference between a watch and life is that watch is a mechanical object while life is made up of chemicals and DNA and DNA changes each time its replicated... the highly accurate mechanism of replication is not flawless!

More Watchtarded cult behavior.

by DATA-DOG in

the c.o has visited.

what gems did he have for the sheeple?

he gave a talk that was entitled "rejoice in the truth!

user100

just had a CO visit last week.. he was going on and on about how the truth gets "clearer". wtf? so your initial assumption was wrong yet you called it truth... whats truth today is falsehood tomorrow... but reminded us to embrace the changes..

he then went on to list a bunch of recent changes.. but did not touch on the overlapping generation BS. mostly about how we dont have a 2nd weeknight meeting and how you can be a pioneer with 30 hours or something stupid like that.

i am guessing there will be lot more changes coming.. but couldnt guess what.
